The right to bare arms is in the US constitution as is the right to vote, yet if you commit a felony both of those are stripped from you.
From my point of view having internet access is not a basic human right, it is a privilege.

ok one more time so you can see the difference
1. if you paint a message on the car, you don't need to drive it to have people see, that
EXACT message get delivered whether you push it down the street or drive in it
2. deliver a EXACT message you can still do that by walking,
3. same is going to a location, that EXACT location can be gotten too by walking, taking the bus, getting a ride from a friend
however if your internet is cut off, and no other isp is allowed to let you on (3 strikes laws) then there are hundreds of locations you can't ever go to (online only boards) there are 100s of messages you can NEVER deliver
it doesn't matter that you have free speech substitutes, that EXACT message is being censored.
